    Freetail should be on there, but I honestly haven't had enough of their stuff to choose.

    Honestly when I'm out, I'm usually drinkin' a (512) IPA or Pecan Porter. Cheap, fresh, and always available.

    Yes, that Jalapeno ale was horrible. Though I'm not really a fan of any No Label beers. I kind of like Ridgeback. I hate Black Wit-o also.. I'm hyper sensitive to the horrible taste of black licorice and I swear I get that on the back end of Black Wit-o... maybe I'm crazy.
